Has Madhavi Kandula received payments from drug or device companies?

Yes. Drug and device makers reported $67,712 in general payments to Madhavi Kandula across 511 transactions between 2019–2025. Most Open Payments records nationally are meals worth under $20; a reported payment is not evidence of wrongdoing.

Does a payment mean Madhavi Kandula did something wrong?

No. Federal law requires drug and device makers to report almost every transfer of value to a physician, including a $14 sandwich at a lunch presentation. Consulting fees, research funding and royalties to device inventors are ordinary, legal parts of medicine. This site reports what was disclosed; it makes no allegation.

Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

This record is dominated by speaking fees: $61,789 of the $67,712 with a category attached, or 91.3%. AbbVie accounts for 93.7% of it on its own, with 11 other manufacturers making up the rest. Among dermatology clinicians in MO with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
